Car Detailers in Chicago Area

Looking to have the exterior of my car detailed. It is black, and has some swirl marks. Looking for someone who has references and does this for a living.

Thanks

StraightLine has a on-site detailer at the shop by appointment. Give them a call 815-485-7741 ask for Nick or Mike.

Elmhurst Detail in Elmhurst does great work. They have done 10 different cars for family and friends and all have turned out great.

Monello,

These pictures were taken today after I picked my car up from PerfectAutoFinish. It took the guy about 3-4 hours to finish. I’m happy with the results. Unfortunately, my camera blows, so these pictures really don’t do any justice to how good the paint looks.
